Chapter 474: Abnormality

On the fifth day of the fourth month, the Great Song Emperor moved to Yonghe. The rivers in western Liaoning are vertical and horizontal, the irrigation is convenient, and the past dynasties are important grain producing areas, this time is the spring ploughing season, but Zhao Ta is difficult to see the scene of ploughing cattle all over the place. He was worried that almost all the prefectures and counties he passed through had won without a fight, with little loss of population and no damage to agricultural facilities, but they were so depressed.

"Chen Aiqing, have all the officials of the newly acquired land taken office?" Zhao Ta knows that the season does not wait for anyone, and if he misses the spring ploughing, he will delay the harvest of the year, and it is not only a pity that such a good field is idle and abandoned, but it will also cause great losses, and it will bring great pressure to the rear in the future.

"Your Majesty, as early as the previous year, the ministers and others selected the students of the capable ministers and officials and the Guozijian according to the edict, and concentrated on learning the way of governing the country and the people in Luoyang, Yanjing and Dading, as the alternate officials of the newly acquired land, but after the war, we marched fast, and the officials were still a little caught off guard, but they still couldn't catch up with our offensive speed, and now they are gradually entering with the cooperation of the state army!" Right Minister Chen Yu said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, the plan can't catch up with the change!" Zhao Tan said with a smile, the development of the war situation is faster than he imagined, not to mention these cautious people, "The top priority now is to stabilize the people's hearts in the newly harvested land as soon as possible, resume production, and ensure the livelihood of the people." ”

"Your Majesty, seeds, ploughing cattle and farming tools are all available, and they can be quickly transported in place as long as necessary, but the officials still have concerns and do not know how to deal with them." Hu Quan, the head of the household, came out of the column and said.

"Oh, what's the problem? Are you still afraid that no one wants things? Zhao Ta asked with some confusion.

"Your Majesty, the newly acquired land includes the Han people who were displaced in Liaoxi at the beginning of the founding of the country. There are also the people of the Central Plains who were taken captive here during the Jingkang period, as well as the Khitan immigrants and the Xi people, Bohai people, and Jurchens who were moved here. Whether or not to be treated differently. If there is a difference, it will cause instability in the hearts of other people, and if they are all treated equally, they are worried that they will cause dissatisfaction among our people. Therefore, they are in a dilemma and do not dare to act on their own. Hu Quan said.

"Well, that's a real problem, and one we didn't anticipate beforehand." Zhao Ta nodded.

When Yanyun was recovered, because of fierce resistance, the Jurchens where the Song army passed were basically killed. And there are many people in the Central Plains who have been taken captive here naturally have a heartfelt heart for the Great Song Dynasty, but they have a deep hatred for the Jurchens, and the officials sent by the Great Song Dynasty can rely on them to quickly open up the situation and divide the land according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty.

But now the situation is a bit complicated. Sali led the people to surrender, these people must not kill without permission, and property and land must be preserved; And because it is close to the Xi, Khitan and Bohai people, there are many immigrants, these people took refuge in the Jin State earlier, their status is higher than that of the Han people, and they also have a certain amount of property. But most of them are still attached to the Jurchens, and there are still very few foreigners who have obtained the high position of Meng'an like Xiao Yu; The most pitiful were of course the Han Chinese who had been taken captive here, who were at the bottom of society and became slaves of the Jurchens. So far, there is nothing.

"Your Majesty, it is better to follow the old practice and move those foreigners inward, and confiscate all their land and property, as long as they leave this place. It is impossible to rebel. Chen Yu saw that the emperor had not answered for a long time, and offered advice.

"No, although the internal migration of different races can solve the urgent need for a while. But what will provoke a greater revolt from the aliens in the unrecovered lands is a measure to quench their thirst. Don't forget that during the Jingkang Change, the people enthusiastically joined the army and participated in the righteous resistance to Jin, which was triggered by their immigration. Zhao Ta shook his head and refused. He knows that in an agrarian society, land is the foundation of human survival, and it can be said to be the lifeblood of farmers.

"Your Majesty, can you use the method of restraint to raze and raze to appease the people?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ma Kuo said.

"You have just implemented the county system in Dali and abolished the law of fetters, and you have finally opened up the situation, so don't drive backwards. Now we may encounter some difficulties for the time being, but it is conducive to long-term peace and stability, and we can no longer act rashly, otherwise today we have eliminated the Jurchens, and some other things may emerge in the future, and we will fall into a vicious circle of rebellion and conquest. Zhao Ta refused again, the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mengwu were all small tribes, but in the end, they all took advantage of the decline of the attached power to grow up and became the gravedigger of the mother, and he could not let this tragedy repeat.

"Your Majesty, can we imitate what we did at the beginning of Datong?" Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, when he led more than 10,000 troops into the Yunzhou area to create a base area, in addition to military victories, it was the use of the emperor's strategy of 'fighting local tyrants, dividing the land' and 'awarding military merits' to quickly open up the situation in the land where the aliens lived, stabilized the hearts of the people, and of course also used some discordant and those disgraceful means.

"Hehe, I'm also thinking about it, but time has passed, and the situation is different, and we can't do it rigidly, and we still need to make some changes!" Zhao Ta nodded and smiled, obviously this plan was in line with his heart.

"Your Majesty, please!" Everyone was relieved to see that the emperor was happy, this didn't work just now, it didn't work, it didn't work so much, they were a little confused, outsiders knew it, shouldn't it be said that the imperial court's high salary raised them a bunch of waste.

"Time is in a hurry, and it is difficult for me to think it through for a while, so I only have a few humble opinions for you to refer to." Zhao Ta sighed slightly, "The county system will be restored to the newly occupied land, and officials will be selected by the imperial court, and officials who surrender to the enemy can be appointed as appropriate; The people of the newly acquired land, no matter what nationality they are, are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and those who sincerely belong to us cannot be killed indiscriminately, and they can be granted land according to the law, and pay taxes according to the regulations, and participate in the imperial examination. ”

"Whoever surrenders to the city is not allowed to confiscate his property and land, regardless of whether the officers and soldiers guarantee the safety of him and his family. However, they are not allowed to keep private soldiers and domestic slaves, and all those who belonged in the past are released to the people; All those who are enemies of our Great Song Dynasty, regardless of their official position, wealth or poverty, and what ethnic group they belong to, their land and property will be confiscated and confiscated, and they will be severely punished; We should take more care of the people of our tribe, and we are willing to pay the road expenses to those who return to our hometowns, and we are willing to keep the land and property that are distributed to them, and give priority to hiring them as local officials, government officials, and township chiefs......"

"I've thought of this for the time being, you go down and list the Chen Guang notice, implement it as soon as possible, and report it at any time if there is anything wrong." Zhao Ta said a few principles, and the rest was left to the courtiers, and his energy had to be mainly focused on the war.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have written it down." Everyone saluted in unison, but in their hearts they also secretly praised the emperor's good head, so that everyone had a land, and there was no need to pay two taxes to the lord and the court as in the past, and he was free from the control of the lord. And those former landlords and nobles confiscated their family property, there were no private soldiers and domestic slaves in their hands, and no one ran with him if they wanted to rebel, so that the unstable factors were eliminated, and the people of the Jin Kingdom who had not been conquered could see hope and reduce their resistance. The Han people can get rid of the impoverished situation and have priority in entering the government, although they are big sesame officials, but it also greatly improves their status and weakens their dissatisfaction, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty, Jin Guo sent Xiao Zhonggong to make peace with us as a transit envoy, do we accept it?" After talking about stabilizing the people's hearts, Ma Kuo started again.

"Hehe, negotiate peace?! Do you think we will talk to them? Zhao Ta thought it was very funny, the battle was like this, the Song army had a one-sided advantage, what was there to talk about with them.

"Your Majesty, although we have no intention of making peace with them, it is unreasonable to refuse directly, so it is better to look at their purpose." Chen Yu looked at the laughing crowd and said.

"It's okay, Master Ma, you will go to meet Xiao Zhonggong to probe the bottom line of the Jurchens." Zhao Ta originally intended to directly refuse Jin Guo's request for peace, but he felt that it was wrong, the old fox Wushu would not know that it would be no benefit to negotiate with him at this time, but he did this kind of thankless thing, and he also agreed to it when he wanted to find out......

After dealing with political affairs, it was already dark, and Zhao Ta rested after eating and reading the battle report sent by him, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and he was still thinking about the daytime. It was strange for the Jin State to send an envoy to negotiate peace at the most inappropriate time, and what was even more unusual was that the Jin army in Liaoyang Prefecture actually sent reinforcements to Jinzhou. And now that the Song Army's Ma Wei Naval Division Group has reached the sea of Liaodong Bay and seized Yaozhou, it is clear that they want to attack Liaoyang Mansion along the mouth of the Liao River, and their actions cannot but make people think more.

Liaoyang Prefecture was actually the de facto central city of the Northeast region, and its importance to the Jin Kingdom was self-evident, and the loss of this place had the same significance as the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun by the Great Song Dynasty. According to common sense, Jin Guo should deploy troops to ensure that this place is not lost, and rely on a strong city to fight a decisive battle with the Song army, and victory can reverse the entire battle situation, instead of dividing troops to save a Jinzhou that has become a lonely city.

"Is there anything in Jinzhou that makes Wushu reluctant to give up?" Zhao Ta couldn't understand the joints, and couldn't help muttering.

"Second master, there is nothing in Jinzhou City that Wushu can't give up, but there are brothers who can't give up!" At this time, Zhao Xin, who was sleeping next to him, suddenly answered.

"That's right, Wan Yan Liang grew up with Wan Yan Liang since he was a child, and the two have a close relationship, although his brother wants to seize his power when he grows up, but he still misses Wan Yan Liang, so he will send troops to reinforce Jinzhou to snatch him back." Zhao Ta was woken up by Zhao Xin's words, turned over and sat up.

"Second master, are you so happy that you want to take advantage of the brotherhood of others to besiege the city and send reinforcements to weaken the forces of Liaoyang Mansion!" Zhao Xin also sat up and put on a piece of clothing for the emperor and said.

"Hehe, those who know me love the concubine!" Zhao Tan patted Zhao Xin's face affectionately and smiled evilly...... (To be continued......)
